We investigate the complexity of the model checking problem for
intuitionistic and modal propositional logics over transitive Kripke models.
More specific, we consider intuitionistic logic IPC, basic propositional logic
BPL, formal propositional logic FPL, and Jankov's logic KC. We show that the
model checking problem is P-complete for the implicational fragments of all
these intuitionistic logics. For BPL and FPL we reach P-hardness even on the
implicational fragment with only one variable. The same hardness results are
obtained for the strictly implicational fragments of their modal companions.
Moreover, we investigate whether formulas with less variables and additional
connectives make model checking easier. Whereas for variable free formulas
outside of the implicational fragment, FPL model checking is shown to be in
LOGCFL, the problem remains P-complete for BPL.Comment: 29 pages, 10 figure
The satisfiability problem of hybrid logics with the downarrow binder is known to be undecidable. This initiated a research program on decidable and tractable fragments. In this paper, we investigate the effect of restricting the propositional part of the language on decidability and on the complexity of the satisfiability problem over arbitrary, transitive, total frames, and frames based on equivalence relations. We also consider different sets of modal and hybrid operators. We trace the border of decidability and give the precise complexity of most fragments, in particular for all fragments including negation. For the monotone fragments, we are able to distinguish the easy from the hard cases, depending on the allowed set of operators.
Abstract. The satisfiability problem of hybrid logics with the downarrow binder is known to be undecidable. This initiated a research program on decidable and tractable fragments. In this paper, we investigate the effect of restricting the propositional part of the language on decidability and on the complexity of the satisfiability problem over arbitrary, transitive, total frames, and frames based on equivalence relations. We also consider different sets of modal and hybrid operators. We trace the border of decidability and give the precise complexity of most fragments, in particular for all fragments including negation. For the monotone fragments, we are able to distinguish the easy from the hard cases, depending on the allowed set of operators.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
